Senator McCain goes for a leisurely stroll wearing nothing but a Hawaiian shirt, personal body armour and a kevlar helmet, surrounded by 100 GI's who must have decided to go shopping at the exact same moment.
Luckily there were a couple of Blackhawks to carry the tourist trinkets home along with the gunship escorts to deter muggers.
This CNN report also has the Indian journalist who challenges McCain about how safe the streets of Baghdad are.
Journo:"I just read on the internet that you said that there were areas of Baghdad that you can walk around freely."
McCain:"I just came from one."
Journo:"Pardon me!"
McCain:"I just came from one."
Journo:"Yes - and which areas would that be?"
McCain(lying through his teeth):"Sir, What I said was ... What I said was that there were encouraging signs and that things were better"
McCain destroyed what little credibility he had left to ingratiate himself with the Republican base.
